Neither are you.
It's really not about me. Its about what I stand for. And my goal is to educate atheists about the "real people" of God. Atheists say they know "all" about the people of God. But, that is a false statement.

Well... the ax swings both ways on the evidence front. If you think about it, "we" only know what we are told. It's a jungle of disinformation out there. And we are a nation of skeptics. that we can agree on.. I think!

umm.... neither do you have proof that it wasn't created! But, there was a beginning because time exists. Right?
